West Kazakhstan Philharmonic Orchestra
Reviews
"..the audiences were experiencing something which was both remarkable and quite beautiful. Young people together making music of the highest quality and refinement and bringing to their art the vigour, freshness and sparkle which frequently eludes seasoned players.
...the attack and precision were breathtaking. We admired the filigree delicacy of the upper strings and the mellowy cellos and bass.
Bisengaliev was the soloist in Mozart's G Major Violin Concerto and proved in a sweet-toned performance of poise and elegance that he is not only a pyrotechnics expert. Anderson and his players provided the sprightly accompaniment... By this stage no one really wanted the concert to end. We could have stayed all night and listened to these wonderful young musicians."

"Your strings are fantastic. I look forward to working with them again soon. "

"Members of the UPO from Kazakhstan delighted their Sunday evening audience...with a remarkable display of instrumental expertise and musical discipline."
"...overall a feast of virtuoso musicianship, which, from the confessions heard at the interval, produced tears in not a few eyes."
"This was a musical evening to be savoured. Craven (District) should count itself fortunate to have had the opportunity of hearing an ensemble which will surely progress to further international acclaim."
-Karl Jenkins, composer -
"On Monday evening, the Uralsk Philharmonic Orchestra dazzled the audience at the Jamshed Bhabha Hall."

"... in the short year or so of the existence of the Uralsk Philharmonic, you have created one of the finest groups in the world. In every respect of its playing - rhythmic precision, string tone, interpretative alertness - the orchestra can hold its own against virtually any comparable ensemble."
